About this game

Blood Bound splits your table into two secret vampire clans and hands everyone a dagger to pass around, and whoever holds it must attack or hand it off. Getting wounded stings twice: once physically, once socially, because you are forced to reveal a clue about your clan or your rank. Piece together enough clues and you can identify the enemy leader and end the game for your side, but capture the wrong target and you hand your rivals the win instead. Special abilities trigger the moment someone reveals their rank, turning every wound into a tactical gamble. Loud, paranoid and built for a full table.
